About this title

Synopsis

One of the Young British Artists and a leading painter of her generation, Fiona Rae uses distinctive, humorous and complex style challenges to expand the conventions of painting today. Rae was featured in Damien Hirsts 1988 Freeze exhibition, the 1990 Venice Biennale and short listed for the Turner Prize in 1991.This slim exhibition catalog from the Leeds Art Gallery, London, examines Raes paintings from the last decade when she began to explore, in painterly analogues, many of the new visual conventions familiar to a post- Photoshop generation, mixing graphic and cartoon imagery with abstract marks and spontaneous gestures to create an iconoclastic synthesis of painterly languages. Foreword by Sarah Brown and essay by Gilda Williams.
